Its made me look at this, just because you have a good friendship doesn't mean you will be friends with their friends does it, do you think we have different friends for our different parts of our personalities? do you think we have various friends to do different things with, to fulfill gaps in our lives.
It made me feel a little sick to be honest, a bit shaken, maybe my bubble of loveliness at home and the people I choose to surround myself with protect me from the outside world to some degree, I think that's why I love the homeschool route too, I know my boys don't have to deal with the bullies, mean folks, some may say its not good to shelter them in this way and they have to learn to deal with such people, but think about it for a minute, why do they?.
Can we not be happy and loved, can we not surround ourselves by good, loving relationships? Of course we can, its all about choice.
I guess that's the down side about social media, you cant really choose who and what your exposed to unless you only have about 5 friends on your page. Which is ok to do if you don't use it for networking.
I organise fairs and need to be able to share events with as many people as possible that's why I have so many 'friends' on fb, that's why I come across idiots who could ruin my day if I let them but I wont, I take a few minutes to look at why I'm feeling the way I do and move on.

I am often amazed by how other people react, I think of myself as a kind generous person and I do tend to wear my heart on my sleeve, it's a shame that this person couldn't see that you were only wanting to help and give advice. I tend to shy away from friendships at the mo, someone who I thought was a good friend, was spreading nasty rumours about myself and my family to others, unfortunately in the home ed community, of which there are only so many around where I live. Could do with more like you nearby, wish I could move on and forgive more easily, it definitely would help, you have the right idea to not dwell.
